Oliver Stone
Every day that you get up, it's some kind of victory if you're making a good product, or working on a project that can only help mankind.

Oliver Stone
We have enormous challenges in front of us.
Oliver Stone
I'd rather get past the tyranny of now, where you get judged for something based on what's happening at the moment.

Oliver Stone
